Verse 1
GMeet me in Chicago
DDown by the waterline
AmStep across the Gold coast
CStepped into this heart of mine
GMaybe Cincinnati
DWith a trip in the morning light
AmStep across the branches I will
CFollow you over the Rhine
GAnd it takes one to know one's what they always say
DWaiting for the dawn and I'm waiting for the day
AmOh I'm coming home and I'm willing to pray
CStepping through the haze one more day
Pre-Chorus
GOn a wide Dopen Amroad
On and On and the Glights Dcome and Amgo
And everything I Gmight not Deven Amknow what is the distance
COn through the resistance singing...
Chorus
GOh Oh Oh DOh Oh Oh COh...
GOh Oh Oh DOh Oh Oh COh...
Verse 2
GMeet me in Portland
DRose Hill in the summer light
AmSee you in the Evergreens
CI will catch you down on the Northeast side
GMaybe San Diego
DMoonlight at the lowest tide
AmSee you in a shoreline breaker
CStepping over my maker's line
GAnd it takes one to know one's what they always say
DWaiting for the dawn and I'm waiting for the day
AmOh I'm coming home and I'm willing to pray
CStepping through the haze one more day
Pre-Chorus
GOn a wide Dopen Amroad
On and On and the Glights Dcome and Amgo
And everything I Gmight not Deven Amknow what is the distance
COn through the resistance singing...
Chorus
GOh Oh Oh DOh Oh Oh COh...
GOh Oh Oh DOh Oh Oh COh...
Verse 3
GYou met me on the backstreets
DRight there at the end of the line
AmWhere a spark turns into fire
CAnd a tear falls into love
GAnd it takes one to know one's what they always say
DWaiting for the dawn and I'm waiting for the day
AmOh I'm coming home and I'm willing to pray
CStepping through the haze one more day
Pre-Chorus
GOn a wide Dopen Amroad
On and On and the Glights Dcome and Amgo
And everything I Gmight not Deven Amknow what is the distance
COn through the resistance singing...
GOn a wide Dopen Amroad
On and On and the Glights Dcome and Amgo
And everything I Gmight not Deven Amknow what is the distance
COn through the resistance singing...
Chorus
GOh Oh Oh DOh Oh Oh COh...
GOh Oh Oh DOh Oh Oh COh...
GOh Oh Oh DOh Oh Oh COh...
GOh Oh Oh DOh Oh Oh COh...
GMeet me in Chicago
DDown by the waterline
AmStep across the Gold coast
CStepped into this heart of mine
